I think this is the TOTL dx, a good upgrade to d7000 shaped distinctly for reach and action (not really beefed up). For action either this or choosing from fx current or future cameras. Folks able to pay for large telephoto lenses can afford an fx body. The frame rate is nice considering the file size which is more important (for cropping). Same for lack of AA filter. Great combination. "Durable Construction - Built to perform in a wide variety of conditions, the D7100 is built to the same moisture and dust resistance specifications of the venerable Nikon D300S." Price is very nice, an excellent value overall.

I think there will be no 7d ll. Don’t know why CR man chose to state this camera with those specs. But he is not sure and changes this constantly, same for the sensor. Dpreview did their best to convey the message from Canon’s Masaya Maeda. 70d will get AF tune back and a coat and guts similar to d7100. Nikon and Canon move their stick towards the fx and mirrorless a tad. Could be argued why not the Sony’s new 20mp some doubted it'd materialize? there will be more reasons but by plain figures you’d gain in speed a little and lose some reach. Nothing is perfect, one will find advantage in a hair more speed once, for the next time it’s going to be the pixels.
